Chapter 104: Drake Fury, the Enigma
CH104 Drake Fury, the Enigma
***
The Fury family was filled with cunning individuals—and Earl Drake Fury might well be the craftiest of them all.
He had exploited the marriage alliance with the Holts not for support, but as a temporary shield. It kept the Empire’s external threats at bay long enough for him to consolidate strength within the Fury family.
By absorbing the Wolves of War mercenary corps and their families as vassals, he ensured he had loyal and battle-hardened subordinates who owed their lives to him. With them, he had no real need for anything the Holts or Machholts might offer.
As the conqueror of the Schaumer family, Earl Drake clearly surpassed them in strength. He didn’t stop there. He went deeper into the planes the Schaumers had barely scratched, securing new territories, resources, and secrets.
And with the unknown and hidden resources discovered in those distant planes, he had amassed a fortune—quietly. A vast wealth and strength, hidden beneath the surface and kept from the prying eyes of those who believed they still had a leash around his neck.
Only one vulnerability remained—Kurt.
The boy born from his union with Joselin Holt.
A child likely raised under his mother’s influence. Perhaps even indoctrinated. The signs were all there—Kurt flaunted his Titan Bloodline, his maternal legacy, far more proudly than the Furor Bloodline he inherited from his father.
’Earl Drake Fury isn’t just a powerful man... a Legendary warrior. He’s also a masterful strategist.’ Alex came to this conclusion with quiet certainty.
